Pearl Linen

Pearl Linen Pearl Linen aqueous coated cloth is 100% cotton with special double-sided aqueous filling that makes it easy to decorate. Available in both a linen and vellum finish, it is specially designed with a calendered finish to receive ink and foil stamping. Pearl Linen cloth has exceptional strength, texture, and beauty. Because it has good dimensional stability, it lays flat and works well in sheet-fed applications without curling. Since it is so affordably priced and easy to decorate, you can achieve eye catching results on both book covers and specialty packaging.
